What Do Facebook, The Social Network, Guy Fieri and Scott Monty Have in Common?

The title of this post is hands down the longest title in the history of this blog (I think). But I couldn’t think of a better way to respond to my friend over at Ford Motor Company, Scott Monty’s, blog post today. If you haven’t seen it, he riffs off the new movie, The Social Network which parodies Facebook and their march toward 500 million members.

As part of the fun, Scott decided that he would pick a few of us out of the social media marketing crowd (some more prominent than others, ahem, Seth Godin) that could possibly appear in the movie. And if we did, who would play us in the movie? I got a kick out of my dopplerganger and Food Network star, Guy Fieri, who ironically, I met last summer in New York City. Some folks including my darling wife thought better comparisons for me might be Ben Affleck, Billy Ray Cyrus or even Bruce Springsteen (Stephanie Agresta insists I am his long lost brother).

But that’s why I’m writing this post… instead, my goal is to continue with the meme that Scott started. In his post, he asks…

If they were holding open casting calls for extras and you were going to be featured, what famous person, dead or alive, would play you in the movie? Leave a comment below or reply with a post on your own blog with a link back to this post.

Christian Bale is a deadringer for Brett, and OMG Josh Beckett looks eerily like you, Aaron – good call, Kyle. Not sure I buy the Armano / Dempsey thing. And I'm very flattered you chose one of my fave leading ladies as my avatar – she was my doppleganger during that dopleganger week thingy.This was a welcome and fun break for an otherwise unremarkable Monday – thanks for that!@themaria

glad you all liked it!-Kyle, I can't argue. I guess I kinda do look like Beckett in that pic.-Maria, I was going to go the Hasslehoff route with Armano but that card has been played.-Mel, taking one for the team, eh?

OMG I have no idea who would play me. Someone once said I looked like Drew Barrymore, but I can't tell if that was good or not. I don't know who else….? I love Adam – Rob Thomas (although Ralph Macchio…. HA!). Perfect. And Aaron, I would definitely take the Boss on this one… rock out!This was fun… keep going

Kate – I actually thought about putting AND Liz into the mix when I did this but couldn't quite put my finger on who would play you (and didn't want to offend if I picked the wrong person).Howie – that's a good choice. Henry Rollins is a crazy mofo — very intense — but very smart and well respected. You could do worse than him.
